    Trump’s campaign was big on vengeance, and the various unjust kangaroo courts that are going to spin up are going to be a nightmare.

    But I’m not sure Merrick Garland’s prosecution is going to get much sympathy from the left.

      I mean… he’ll really only have himself to blame. Garland was better equipped than anyone else in the country to hold Trump and his criminal cohort accountable for their literal treason, but he decided to drag his feet and avoid making waves. And for what? To avoid the appearance of the DOJ being “political”?

      Well he’s about to find out exactly how political it can be.
